When Equestria's most famous detective, Basil Bones, comes to Ponyville, it seems like everypony has a case for him to solve. His results are impressive, but his methods are questionable. It's up to the brilliant mind of Twilight Sparkle to get to the bottom of this, accompanied as always by her loyal—and bored—assistant and girlfriend Rainbow Dash.

The fourth story in the Twilight Holmes continuity, following It's Elementary, My Dear Rainbow, TH: Sabotage After Sunset, and Salting Snails. Reading the previous stories is not required to enjoy The Mystery of Basil Bones.
